ARPUS/ce, Version 2.6.2 (03/10/05) (SCCS 1.6) _______________________________________________________________________________ cmdf [-p] <pathname> "command file" DESCRIPTION: 'cmdf' instructs 'ce' to read commands from the specified file or paste buffer. When 'ce' reaches the end of the file, control is returned to you. 'cmdf' commands can be nested, so that a 'cmdf' file can contain other 'cmdf commands. -p This option specifies that <pathname> is a paste buffer created from an 'xc <name>' or 'xd <name>' command. (Note the difference between a paste buffer versus a file created via 'xc -f <path>' or 'xd -f <path>'.) If the -p option is not specified, the <pathname> references a file. If the file name is just a file name, without any directory information then the environment variable CE_CMDF_PATH is searched to find the path to the command file. If CE_CMDF_PATH is not set, the command file name is assumed to be a file in the current Ce working directory. The CE_CMDF_PATH variable has the same format and syntax as the shell PATH environment variable. To be found via the CE_CMDF_PATH variable, the execute bit on the command file must be on. Ex: In your .profile (or .login): CE_CMDF_PATH=.:$HOME/ce_cmds In Ce: cmdf abc Ce will search for ./abc and $HOME/ce_cmds/abc RELATED HELP FILES: kd (Key Definition) (Prompt) rec (Record) commands (List of Commands) xdmc (Execute DM Commands) xresources (Arguments and X resources) pastebufCon (Paste buffers) support (customer support) _______________________________________________________________________________ Copyright (c) 2005, Robert Styma Consulting.
